Letting empty bottles of water collect under my bed.
Using bottled water instead of tap in the first place.

A GChat With My Mom, On The Topic of Dating
- Me: If you were dating now, what medium do you think you’d use to communicate with guys — phone? text? email?
- twitter?
- Susan: email and text. Definitely not twitter. And preferably not phone, because it puts people on the spot. Like me.
- Me: I know you really hate the phone
- GChat is good for dating but sometimes hard because if you’re both online all day, there’s pressure to TALK all day
- Sent at 3 51 PM on Thursday
- Me: ….mom?
